flatovercrest: Serial number BRF0001 was issued in August 1994, CAM0001 was issued in January 1996, so your gun falls in the middle. At a guess late 1994 or early 1995 sounds about right to me.
 
2nd HE .455

Howdy,

I just purchased a 2nd Model Hand Ejector in .455 (cylinder shaved to .45). Serial #326XX. Any date? Also has multiple proofmarks, mostly a circle topped with a crown enclosing various pairs of letters: BV, BP and NB. Any info?

Thanks!
 
I'd appreciate any info that I can get on my Model 10-5.

It's a police trade in I believe. On the backstrap it is stamped "MPDC". It has a round butt, a 4 inch tapered barrel with a five digit serial # D31xxx.

Of course, it handles and shoots great.

Thanks.
 
A Couple More Please?

I recently picked up a couple older S&W revolvers and I'd like to know when they were manufactured.

Model 18 K4332xx

Model 57 S2494xx

Thanks!!

The .455 Mark II Hand Ejector 2nd Models were made for British and Canadian service. Serial Numbers ran from ~5000 in 1915 to 74755 in 1917.

38 S&W Special Ctg

38 S&W Special Ctg is stamped on the right side of the barrel. I found the same serial number in all 3 places talked about but am confused because there is no letter designation exept for in the barrel cutout there is a B to the far left of the serial number 48xxx, thanks in advance for your replies.

Thank you!!
 
I have a S&W 22 K frame I got from my father who got it from is mother, Yes really it is my grand mother's pistol she used to head shoot hens for the pot and once shot at some prowlers who it ends up were FBI agents come to the farm doing a background check on my aunt who was a teacher on a AFB.

I have read the K was not added to the serial number until after 1946 and this is one of the guns my dad saved from the burning log cabin a year after he was in Korea so I'm thinking 1946 to 1955.

On the butt it says K 127###

1951.

K127XXX would date form 1951. In that year, the serial numbers ran form K104048 thru K136690. This is per the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson.
